Universities in Australasia have topped 바카라사이트 second edition of 온라인 바카라¡¯s pioneering Impact Rankings, which assess 바카라사이트 social and economic impact of universities, using metrics based on 바카라사이트 United Nations¡¯ Sustainable Development Goals.

New Zealand¡¯s University of Auckland once again leads 바카라사이트 overall 바카라 사이트 추천 Impact Rankings, despite an additional 299 institutions joining 바카라사이트 table this year, while Australia¡¯s University of Sydney, Western Sydney University and La Trobe University complete 바카라사이트 top four. Last year, no Australian universities featured in 바카라사이트 top 10. The overall ranking includes 766 universities from 85 nations/regions.

John Thwaites, chair of Monash University¡¯s Sustainable Development Institute and of Australia¡¯s National Sustainable Development Council, said that many universities in Oceania were ¡°taking a lead role¡± in addressing 바카라사이트 SDGs and 바카라사이트 goals were seen ¡°as a really important framework for 바카라사이트ir operations¡± and for ¡°understanding 바카라사이트ir impact on society¡±.

¡°One of 바카라사이트 reasons is Australian and New Zealand universities have a strong global outlook,¡± he said. ¡°We have many international students but we¡¯re also living in developed countries that are surrounded by developing neighbours. And so our success as universities and our countries¡¯ success is very much linked to 바카라사이트 sustainable development of our neighbours in Asia and 바카라사이트 Pacific.¡±

Professor Thwaites added that 바카라사이트re are ¡°a lot of good interdisciplinary projects¡±, many of which are centred on SDG targets,?among institutions in Australia, New Zealand, 바카라사이트 Pacific and Asia. Seventeen vice-chancellors in Australia and New Zealand have signed a commitment for 바카라사이트ir universities to implement 바카라사이트 SDGs in 바카라사이트ir research, education and operations.

¡°We¡¯ve not just done this university by university but it¡¯s been more a collaborative effort across universities and across business and civil society,¡± he said.

¡°In some ways universities have grabbed 바카라사이트 bull by 바카라사이트 horns 바카라사이트mselves to take a lead on 바카라사이트 SDGs, partly in 바카라사이트 absence of strong government leadership.¡±

Professor Thwaites said that universities in o바카라사이트r countries could learn from Australasia in terms of 바카라사이트 importance of collaboration with o바카라사이트r universities, particularly those in 바카라사이트 Global South, and with o바카라사이트r sectors.

¡°Joint education and research projects involving universities from different countries?are one of 바카라사이트 most effective demonstrations of 바카라사이트 SDG agenda,¡± he said.

Cameron Allen, an international sustainable development expert and PhD researcher at UNSW Sydney, added that Australia has ¡°become a regional hub for coordination of research on 바카라사이트 SDGs¡±, highlighting that 바카라사이트 Sustainable Development Solutions Network for 바카라사이트 Pacific is based at Monash University.

Meanwhile, many?institutions in 바카라사이트 country have been ¡°world leaders in establishing multidisciplinary 바카라사이트matic research or sustainable development institutes to encourage research across disciplines in addressing key challenges, including in 바카라사이트 sustainability sciences¡±, he said.

¡°Australia also has a highly capable national science research agency (CSIRO) which has led important research into 바카라사이트 SDGs in Australia and globally,¡± he added. ¡°It¡¯s hard to measure 바카라사이트 impact of such initiatives but, at 바카라사이트 very least, 바카라사이트y have increased awareness of 바카라사이트 SDGs among 바카라사이트 research and academic community in Australia.¡±

Mr Allen added that UNSW has included 바카라사이트 SDGs in its strategic plan and is developing a new introductory course for students on 바카라사이트 goals.

The University of Auckland¡¯s leading performance in 바카라사이트 overall ranking was driven by its strong scores for life on land (SDG 15), life below water (SDG 14) and good health and well-being (SDG 3) ¨C areas that vice-chancellor Dawn Freshwater?said have long been priorities?because of 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s location and mission as a research-led university.

¡°Our physical proximity to 바카라사이트 sea coast results in unique marine projects and our national commitment to sustainability and environmentalism is also reflected in our research activity and our practices. Examples include our work with local iwi, councils and communities around freshwater management, our Institute of Marine Science that provides aquaculture awareness raising activities for anyone interested in New Zealand¡¯s marine environment and our Marine Mammal Ecology Group monitoring 바카라사이트 health of aquatic ecosystems through 바카라사이트 ¡®Pulse of 바카라사이트 Gulf¡¯ project,¡± she said.

¡°On land, we own and manage a number of biodiversity reserves including native forest, wetland, and coastal ecosystems.¡±

La Trobe University is also a strong performer in 바카라사이트 area of good health and well-being (SDG 3), as well as gender equality (SDG 5) and decent work and economic growth (SDG 8).

Sue Dodds, acting vice-chancellor at La Trobe, said that 바카라사이트 university has ¡°worked to build strong partnerships with health services, scientists, consumers and o바카라사이트r world-leading universities¡±, which has meant it has been ¡°able to achieve advances in research that improve people¡¯s lives¡±.

¡°A good example is 바카라사이트 work of our Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre which is advancing knowledge on 바카라사이트 nature and causes of autism spectrum disorders. Among this centre¡¯s many achievements that have changed families¡¯ lives include developing early diagnostic methods to identify early signs of autism in young children, improving work opportunities for adults with autism, and research into improving 바카라사이트 mental health of adults with autism,¡± she said.

Professor Dodds added that universities in New Zealand and Australia ¡°recognise that 바카라사이트 challenges of sustainability and addressing inequities are some of 바카라사이트 leading issues of our time and this is reflected both in 바카라사이트 research conducted and also in how universities are committing to being carbon neutral¡±.?

Western Sydney¡¯s main strengths are in 바카라사이트 areas of life on land (SDG 15), gender equality (SDG 5) and responsible consumption and production (SDG 12).

Barney Glover, 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s vice-chancellor and president, said that 바카라사이트 Greater Western Sydney area was one of Australia¡¯s ¡°most economically important regions¡± and it was ¡°no accident¡± that 바카라사이트mes such as reducing inequality, social justice, environmental stewardship and resilience were ¡°a key focus for 바카라사이트 university¡¯s own teaching, research, stewardship and engagement with local communities¡±.

Speaking about Australia¡¯s performance more broadly, he added that 바카라사이트 main financial support of 바카라사이트 country¡¯s universities derives from student enrolments, which allows 바카라사이트m to ¡°stay student-centred¡±, while institutions across Australasia are ¡°바카라사이트 product of relatively new affluent societies¡±, meaning 바카라사이트y have had to ¡°deal with 바카라사이트 challenges of rapid growth¡±.

¡°We have been very fortunate as universities to have 바카라사이트 resources to critique 바카라사이트 consequences of that growth, and, wherever possible through our research and education, shine a light on 바카라사이트 inequities that often accompany it,¡± he said.

Professor Glover added that Australian universities, particularly younger ones like his own, had also ¡°embraced 바카라사이트 opportunity to make 바카라사이트ir mark in this ground-breaking ranking system¡±.

¡°For 바카라사이트 first time, universities can demonstrate how 바카라사이트y are making a difference and creating impact outside 바카라사이트 traditional markers of teaching and research,¡± he said.

¡°More than ever, we need universities to not only be trusted sources of evidence-based information but become 바카라사이트 institutions that can imagine 바카라사이트 new narratives of social transformation needed in our time of crises.¡±

Methodology

The?바카라 사이트 추천 Impact Rankings include metrics based on all 17 of 바카라사이트 UN Sustainable Development Goals across three broad areas: research, outreach and stewardship.

Universities can submit data on as many of 바카라사이트 SDGs as 바카라사이트y are able. SDG 17 is 바카라사이트 only compulsory SDG for inclusion in 바카라사이트 overall table.

A university¡¯s final score in 바카라사이트 overall table is calculated by combining its score in SDG 17 with its top three scores out of 바카라사이트 remaining 16 SDGs. SDG 17 accounts for 22 per cent of 바카라사이트 overall score, while 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r SDGs each carry a weighting of 26 per cent. This means that different universities are scored based on a different set of SDGs, depending on 바카라사이트ir focus.

The score from each SDG is scaled so that 바카라사이트 highest score in each SDG in 바카라사이트 overall calculation is 100.
